🌿BREATHE TRUTH🌿
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. —Isaiah 40:29-31
🌿LIVE THE REAL TRUTH🌿
Newly hatched birds come out of their egg shells a bit disoriented. The first individual they see, they follow. Usually, this is the mother. Imprinting offers survival for the birds who trust the one who is leading them. Especially when they’re weak, weary, and wanting. Like fledging birds, we are in need of someone to guide us to deeper safety so we can find the strength, security, and stamina that we lack on our own.

Strength. Trust life with God.
When we trust life with God, He takes us into a new place of strength in lieu of the scarcity surrounding us. More substantial and stronger than physical prowess is spiritual power. Our God doesn’t simply lead to show His strength. He leads for us to strive in His strength, to leave the valley without vacillating and to go on the offense without oscillating. The birds who follow after their mothers do so with abandonment. They leave behind preconceived notions that they know where they are going. This is the essence of trust. To lay aside our discernment to concede God greater control. To exchange the uncertain direction ahead for the certainty of experiencing God’s way, will, and wisdom in the wilderness of the unknown.
🍃
Security. Trek life with God.
When we trek life with God, we travel lighter, higher, and fuller on wings like eagles than we would had we waited for a lesser ride. We soar beyond our comfort zone and current coordinates. We sail securely in who is taking us where we need to go. In the flight, trust that God has already flown the rough hewn clouds ahead. Security lies in the stroke of the swing of the wing…..believing God is steering in our best interest through our the mess of our distress. Fly the sky in faith, not fear.
🍃
Stamina. Train life with God.
When we train life with God, we embark on a marathon, not a sprint. To invoke God’s strength to secure our stamina for the unexpected winds and wind-fallout that pop up unexpectedly. God packages stamina to steady the pace in front of us and to stay the perseverance in the future before us. Run without the resistance of discouragement. Walk without the weariness of deficits. Stamina shelters us from depletion. At the end of our rope when we grow deliriously tired, stamina from training with God enables us to rebound to recover and rise.
🍃🍃🍃
Slay the way.
When we are empty and exhausted, God reveals to us that He can supply everything when we have nothing. If you know you can’t fly further, find a God who can. Let Him launch you to endings you could never edit and write on your own.
If you are low on rest, refresh.
If you are lean on reserves, recharge.
If you are lagging in resources, restock.
Reach out to the Father of light and refuel what you lack. Out of His abundance, the wind beneath His wings will propel you in miraculous strength, marvelous security, and mighty stamina to bring you home. Struggling? With Jesus, slay the way.
🍃🍃🍃
With every breath
When I have nothing left
When my heart is bereft
Teach me to hope in your precept
Raise my life from your death
Feel Your hand upward I step
Wherever you take me, Lord, I accept
